My manuscript is done. I can't justify the table of contents because I am a word idiot. But here are two copies sitting on my desk ready for final approval.
Now off to get that Pulitzer!
In other news, I have two bags of poetry books in the back of my car. I tried to give them away recently and no one wanted most of them. They are the kind of books friends give you because they know you write poetry and so therefore you would like a book titled 'One Hundred Greatest Love Poems" or some such.
Maybe the used bookstore down the street wants them. Or maybe I'll leave them at bus stop benches. I'm sure there are folks who need a poetry boost when waiting for the bus with their latte.

Congrats on your manuscript! There is a box at the Central Market by my house that is a book box. That's a good place to leave them. Or the bus stop, if it isn't raining. I think it would be cool to find even a crappy book at a bus stop.

Thanks, R. Couldn't have done it without you.
Congrats, you. And I think there's a reason why those GREATEST LOVE POEMS OF ALL TIME books end up on the toilet. Don't let that happen in your bathroom.
April-hm, that and joke books. Is love a joke? In the bathroom? These are weighty questions.
Congratulations on finishing the manuscript! This is exciting!
thanks, Valerie. How for an eager publisher.
